As far as wheels and tires

Im not sure yet, still looking. I have a $5000 budget on the truck, I will be doing everything but the exhaust myself, but I also dont want to skimp on tires, which I think are the most important add on I am going to do. Brakes, Interior, and body work are going to be done first, than wheels and tires, so it will be at least a month before I get there. Want it to be completely done by late Oct.

Just thought I would throw in a little update. Got tires put on today, new brakes, replaced the chrome grill with black, new paint on the spare tire carrier, and all the interior lighting done. Next steps, fix two little rust spots behind the doors, and scratches on passenger side than bed lining on the rocker panels. Bull Bar, or Grill guard (still debating), replace the carpet in the bed with black diamond plate, and than some exterior lights, a Cold Air Intake, and exhaust. I have a lot left to do. Will post some update pics tomorrow.

Thanks for the tips guys, if you think of anything else that is a must on a duck hunting rig/off road rig, feel free to chime in.

I was also going to add that I checked the mileage, 17.6 mpg, with mostly driving around town. Better than I thought actually

Bedliner = Your best friend. No worries of scratches and easy to hide rust.
